i would hope my manager wouldnt see this as irate employeeS but rather one employee trying to be controlling by forcing another one to bark a response like a trained dog when they've made it clear what their boundaries are for early morning communications. allowing communication boundaries between employees is a pretty basic tenet of treating them with the respect humans deserve
I try to explain to the one employee that is fine to have the expectation that others say Good Morning, but it's also fine that the other employee doesn't want to engage that way. Both things can be true and right at the same time. She doesn't adjust her position and still thinks it's a requirement.
